While the provisional
to (full) registration process is the same for all teachers, we understand CRTs
may face unique challenges to achieve this. To help CRTs and teachers in
non-school settings understand how they can move to (full) registration in
their context, we’ve developed a CRT companion guide.

If you’re provisionally registered and planning to undertake the (full) registration process this year, there are some recent changes to this process regarding Child Safe Standards and the Reportable Conduct Scheme.

Casual relief or emergency teachers (CRTs) undertake approximately 10-15% of a learner’s education. Many of Victoria’s beginning teachers are working as CRTs; this can limit their opportunities to undertake an inquiry into their practice in order to move to (full) registration.

If you’re thinking about taking a leave of absence from teaching or you don’t feel you’ll be able to meet the requirements when you renew your registration, non-practising registration is a convenient option that will allow you to transition back into (full) registration with minimal fuss.
